Cherry’s life growing up was nothing short of a nightmare. Having an abusive father forced her to fend for herself from an early age. Bruised and emotionally broken, she finally escaped, running straight into the comfort that Lip's arms brought. In the beginning, everything seemed to fall into place perfectly. He made her forget the messed-up ways of her life. But secrets can’t stay neglected. They have a habit of revealing themselves regardless of the consequences. Terrified, Cherry can’t speak a word or she’ll lose it all.

Lip is no stranger to the criminal life. Growing up among convicts, he wanted nothing more than to show his worth. He’ll do anything for the club without question, including serving six years in prison. But nobody could have predicted life’s plan. Rugged, tattooed, and wanting nothing more than to have Cherry, Lip is no longer the man whom Cherry remembers. After his release, he came out a beast with more secrets and lies than his cage could hold.

Review:

When I read The Lies Between Us, I had not read any other
books in the series. I feel that by not doing so it did not take away from the
book's impact.

This book is Lip and Cherry's. They both hold secrets but
are too invested in their relationship to tell them. We all know secrets have a
way of revealing themselves. When they are exposed they have devastating
consequences. Luckily the MC is there to help pick up the pieces and put things
in perspective. Tragedy strikes and blood ties are broken. The events show
Cherry and Lip that love can be stronger than the lies told.

Cherry's character has had a rough life. Here upbringing was not the greatest and neither was her adult life. She trusted the wrong person and it ended up costing her the one thing she loves the most. For her, Lip is her lifeline. He gives her stability. That seems to be one thing that she has always lacked. As much as I like Cherry, she does make a lot of bad choices. Most of them put her in danger. You can't fault the woman, she is headstrong and determined.

Lip is a mystery. He hides his life from Cherry. He shows her enough to gain trust but not everything. He's a big bad biker. Being a part of a MC, it's expected that he will have some secrets. You can tell that he cares for Cherry and wants to do anything for her. I think that is what makes readers love him.

Forgy's writing is fantastic. As I stated, I haven't read any of the other books in the series. She proves that she is a fantastic writer by creating a story that can stand alone or in a series. So if you just read this book, you're not going to be lost. I definitely feel that this is a must read for those who love biker books especially.

4 out of 5 Stars

Excerpt

After he leaves, I open his
wallet, reading his name, address, weight. All of it.

“Phillip DeLuca.” I taste
his name running off my lips as I trace my finger over his picture. He’s so
handsome. He’s the kind of guy most people would be afraid of, but not me. I
want to get to know him. Lost in a daydream, my car door is yanked open.

“Where the fuck is it,
bitch?”

“What?” I shriek as I’m
pulled out of the car and slammed forward onto the hot hood. “I don’t have
anything!” I scream, trying to pull free. He shoves me back down on the hood.
His hand tangled in my hair.

“Don’t think about moving,”
he spits, his tone harsh. I roll my eyes and continue leaning over the hood. My
heart slams against my chest in pure panic, and my hands shake. He pulls away
and leans in to the car. Within seconds, he finds his wallet. Shit.

He peers at me with a fierce
energy in his eyes. The intensity has me pulling off the hood, scared out of my
mind.

“You have some balls,” he
mutters, shoving his wallet back in his pocket. His tone is soft and tender
suddenly. I turn my head and eye him angrily.

“Fuck you.” I cross my arms
and lean my hip against the car. My choice of words more confident than I’m
feeling.

He steps up to me and grabs
my hips hard with both hands. My skin burns, and my mouth parts with desire.
His brown eyes find mine, and his hands yank my body closer to his. I feel like
all the air is sucked from my lungs as I search his dark eyes. Placing my hands
on his solid chest to steady myself, my palms buzz with excitement.

“You’d like that, wouldn’t
you?” He looks me up and down and leans in close. “You’d like it if I pushed
you over the hood of this car and fucked you ‘til your legs gave out.” His
words feather against my lips, he’s so close. I hold my breath, willing my body
to pull away, but I don’t move. Just when I think he’s going to kiss me, he grabs
my hand and pulls it upward. I furrow my brows and watch as he pulls a pen from
his back pocket, pulling the cap off with his teeth. He writes his number and
the word ‘Lip’ on my hand.

“Call me. Don’t make me
come find you, Cherry.”

“Cherry?” I ask out loud.

“Your swimsuit,” he yells
over his shoulder before starting his bike. I look down at my white shirt
noticing my cherry bikini peeking out from the bust line. A smile creeps across
my face. I know I shouldn’t like him, but I kind of do. Driving past me, he
winks and I swear I sigh like a damn fool.

M.N. Forgy was raised in Missouri where
she still lives with her family. She's a soccer mom by day and a saucy writer
by night. M.N. Forgy started writing at a young age but never took it seriously
until years later, as a stay-at-home mom, she opened her laptop and started
writing again. As a role model for her children, she felt she couldn't live
with the "what if" anymore and finally took a chance on her
character's story. So, with her glass of wine in hand and a stray Barbie
sharing her seat, she continues to create and please her fans.
